Menu: French Farm Dinner

Shutterstock.com/Martin TurzakPheasant is a French delicacy and a natural inclusion in a French farm dinner.

Winter is the ideal time to cook game meat. Its
earthy flavor can either be highlighted or diminished depending on your tastes
and preferences. One game meat, pheasant, is a French delicacy, and it can be
prepared in a number of ways. Braising it for several hours will soften the
meat, roasting it will provide delectable crispy skin and rendered fat to make
gravy, but baking it in cream brings you the best of both worlds. The cream
seeps into the meat, and it melts in your mouth. Garlic and onion perfectly season
and infuse the gravy. A hint of thyme highlights the distinct flavor of the
bird. Sit back, pour a glass of wine, and take a trip to the French countryside
with this simple farm dinner.
